John Wesley Harding - Skyscrapers In Memphis Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • They say that the dead live forever
  • And round here well they probably do
  • If you stand by the gates outside graceland
  • You can watch all the dead coming through
  • Its necropolis and welcome to it
  • Its an archaeological find
  • Theyll be digging up this town forever
  • Theyll be digging up this empty mine
  • The indians stand on the scaffold
  • Theyve taken the egyptians place
  • The pharaohs and the politicians
  • Are planning their perfect escape
  • So they build a memorial tower
  • Like the ancient texts said that they would
  • But stories arent told by the victims
  • And thats why this storys so good
  • Have you seen the skyscrapers in memphis
  • Do you see how they rise like the sun
  • And the statues they look just like spacemen
  • Looking down on everyone
  • And theres art by the yard in the hallways
  • And our houses are made out of slime
  • But the skyscrapers almost touch heaven
  • Did we escape from the mud this time?
  • So look at the bar-chart skyline
  • And look at the graph on the wall
  • But dont you ignore the byline
  • When the headline says empire falls
  • The buildings get stranger and taller
  • Til we see that sphinx up on mars
  • So prepare your most pertinent questions
  • But please dont expect any answers
  • One last look round the museum
  • The one where the bullets still fly
  • But dont blink if you wish to see them
  • Puncture the mummys good eye
  • As the lift hits the five figure numbers
  • The relics of ages long gone
  • The tomb of the unknown protest singer
  • The computer of king tutankhamun
  • Have you seen the skyscrapers in memphis
  • Do you see how they rise like the sun
  • And the statues they look just like spacemen
  • Looking down on everyone
  • And theres art by the yard in the hallways
  • And our houses are made out of slime
  • But the skyscrapers they almost touch heaven
  • Did we escape from the mud this time?
